Data retrieved from NWISWeb
(http://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/ia/nwis/qw) on 2012-06-18. The data
were rearranged and columns renamed to create matching data from each well.
These data represent the nitrite plus nitrate concentration in a survey in
eastern Iowa. The cycle 1 samples were collected during the summer of 1998,
and the cycle 2 samples were collected during the summer of 2007.
The description of the study unit and the cycle 1 data are described in Sadorf and Linart (2000).
